Introducing Syntakt

No mention of an arpeggiator anywhere in the manual, seem like a weird omission to me. I use p-locked arps all the time. :frowning:

Elektron have SOOOOO much crossover between their products now itā€™s hard to distinguish between them IMHO. Syntakt is not a deep synth more a Fanboi product (maybe a bit harsh)!

I really expected something new/innovative. Syntakt will find its owners for sure but its NOT ground breaking and seems a bit boring in terms of features tbh. I own an OT, AR, A4, a M:C and DT Keys (2x Digitakts previously) so know Elektron products well.

This release appears a bit lazy of them, a rehashed A4/M:S engine in an existing format.

Nothing new or groundbreaking, its taken them a LONG time to get this out to market too. Their competitors are moving far faster and are far more innovative. A bit lazy fo Elektron tbh, Iā€™m quite disappointed

Again all my personal opinion and Iā€™m sure plenty will disagree

Nice oneā€¦just heard dave mech demo track on it. Sounded sweet.

Looks like a great box.

Not sure if thisll have the ā€œmacro fx pageā€ like on A4 that i love. One of the missin things from previous ā€œtaktsā€ that i missed. I love to just load a pattern and have instant access to parameters i like to tweak on said pattern.

Be tempted to buy one if so.

its in the manual. get it from elektron site

Put that OT arp to good use!!!

Alright yaā€™ll. Sorry for jumping the gun earlier. Iā€™m an idiot that canā€™t math, and time is just a socially created construct right? Oooof.

But at least it sold @Fin25

Here we go, my comparatively underproduced video:

Recorded direct, no processing whatsoever.

this is a pessimist-myopic view that actually doesnā€™t stack up - if it was driven that way

  1. they court losing sales at 1st base
  2. they court losing sales at 2nd base if you didnā€™t baulk at 1)

Take it for what it is, not what it isnā€™t :wink:

itā€™s a creative product, not a tin of soup :thup:

Iā€™m kind of relieved, itā€™s a very cool unit. But, I donā€™t feel I need it. Maybe later, if there was a Syntakt UW, with a stereo sample playback engine. But, what an awesome piece of hardware for people starting out a studio from scratch. Or for a single unit for live PA, maybe even with a Volca Sample or even SP-404 plumbed in into the inputs.

This looks great but still no slides? :cry:

Would have also been nice to have more fx options. Oh well I will still probably buy this.

Thanks mate. Will check your video as well this evening :slight_smile: but chaos here with my daughter at the moment haha.

So basicallyā€¦ Rytm & M:C had a baby but because of genetic defects it was born without pads. :joy:

For those who buy Heats just for clean boost they might as well buy this and get a sequencer and a lot more as bonus.

This looks awesome, I just really wish it were polyphonic on the digital synth voices (also: arp).

analog heat is asking for a paternity test too

No pads, but the trig modifiers help a lot in this regard. There is a dedicated velocity lane. So you can hammer out a sequence on a track with 4 different velocities.
Also a retrig lane, and two mod lanes.

But now i need xtra ty-rapps and another woodwork stand
